A powerful and inspiring speech by the Hollywood legend, Meryl Streep. Many ppl disapproved him for the exactly reason that "disrespect invites disrespect" and "violence incites violence."

[TR-vhfi]

I get so emotional every time I watch this

Vince Vaughn and Mel Gibson seem like they don’t agree, it shows on the faces of the ones that don’t like her words. Beautiful woman inside and outside.

[alejandrocervantes]

incredible speech, so powerfully worded and emotionally delivered - shes an icon

[beaglybeagle]

Brilliant! I never grow tired of watching this and the message in it. It will be as timeless and remembered as much as these divisive times will be. So glad she gave this important honor the opportunity to speak her outrage.

[bencrocker]

The BEST speech ever:
I had a son that was incredibly handicapped and I cannot BELIEVE that a setting President of the United States would publicly “make fun” of this kind of person.
This reporter did not ask to be handicapped, it is the way God made him just like God made my son handicapped, and by the way, my son succumb to his handicap. So, I will ALWAYS love her for giving this speech and throwing HIM under the rug….. love me some Meryl Streep.

[shannonmarcar]

Such powerful words….You could cut the silence with a knife!

[MPredD]

Take your broken heart, make it into art ❤

[joshmills]

A tough speech to be remembered years down the road, when we need to know what it felt like...as America lost its mind. And don't miss that death stare by Vince Vaughn at 5:13, who really didn't want this spring of clean frigid alpine water to upset his evening. Meryl's name will be spoken 100 years from now.
